“I
agree… it will be good…..” Looks up as he hears Kraglin shout St. Peter
to stop bouncing. “And now the best is bugging his big brother….. “we
have another 2 hours of night cycle then we’ll be there to you within 2
hours of that. I’ll bring Tullk and Jamie along. Jamie was really
interested in the unique nature around your house.”“So soon? Really? I thought you guys would be maybe a standard month out.”
“Not if we use the jump drive. And to avoid peter driving us insane.. we’ll use it. We’re actually not far… just beyond… uhhh That planet Pluto? I think you terrans call it…”
“Yeah, Pluto,” Carlos agreed. “And we classify it as a dwarf planet here on Earth – basically just a smaller celestial object. What are you doing in the Solar System?” Now that Carlos thought about it, what were the space whales doing in the solar system?
“Picking up some materials from the planets around the sol system. But that’s about it. Nothing illegal this time. Hehehe.”
“Well good – the Earth has plenty of scum and villainy going on all by itself,” Carlos joked with a slight smirk. f
“Ouch… right in the heart….. at least I’m hot scum. You liked it and you know it.”
Carlos laughed. “Sometimes,” he admitted. “I should let my dad know you guys are heading here so he can start planning meals.”
“Tell him I’m bringing him a few bags of bestie worms. I know he enjoyed them last time. And I know you do too…. maybe I’ll get wheels to eat some.”
Carlos just huffed, smirking a bit. “Don’t tease Mikey too much… He tries not to eat Cheetos now. I think the whole ‘worm’ thing bothered him.”
Yondu blinks and hums. “Ok. I wotms for him…. however I think I got something he’d like more. Yeah I think he’d like it. Well…. we’ll be there soon. I’m gonna catch a little more sleep. Love you carlos. PETEY! Come get yer tablet. And don’t bother your brother. See you seen carlos.” Peter takes the tablet then rushes back to the bed with Kraglin and hops back in and snuggles against him. “Say hi Krags!”
“Sleep well, Yondu!” Carlos called as the communicator was whisked away.
He watched the picture jump around before it finally came to rest, showing the face of a very rumpled and grumpy-looking Xandar-Hraxian.
“Pete, for flark’s sake…” he mumbled, trying to hide his eyes from the brightness on the screen.
“Hey, Kraglin,” Carlos greeted with a slight smile.
Peter grins and snuggles up against kraglins chest and sighs happily. “It’s carlos Krags… common wake up. We’re going to earth in a few hours.” Snuggles up against his chest and sighs happily.
Kraglin grumbled, his eyes still closed. “’Bout time… been wonderin’ when the Cap’n was gonna decide to stop pissin’ around and swing by.”
“Careful, Kraglin – that sounds a tad bit like insubordination,” Carlos teased.
“Krags is like that when dad avoids stuff. Krags misses you too he’s just to much of a grump yo admit it.”
Pokes him. “Grumpy butt grumpy butt.” Kisses his cheek and burrows under the covers yawning a bit.
Kraglin hummed, not responding to Carlos.
“You boys look like you need to go back to sleep,” Carlos said with a slight smile. “
Peter yawns and nods. “See you Soon. Miss you. Bye.” Waves a bit and takes kraglins hand waving it before turning the tablet off. “Krags?” Looks to him and nuzzles against his neck squirming around. “Love you bro.”
Kraglin hummed again and curled into Peter. “Mm… luv’oo too…” he murmured, almost instantly falling back asleep.
***
Carlos sighed shutting off his communicator. Well… at least there was something to look forward to and take his mind off of his fruitless jobsearch.
Few hours later found peter, Kraglin, Yondu, Tullk and Jamie landing in the forest clearing thankfully fairly close to Carlos’s home. Yondu has his good upand peter grins running off into the woods towards the house. “Kraglin … follow your brother..”
Kraglin went after him like a herding dog. “Pete, get back here! It’s too dark for you to go running off!”
“Tracker’s locked on Ramon’s comm, Cap’n,” Tullk reported, looking to the device in his hand. The other arm was hooked around Half-nut’s arm.
Peter laughs playing the chase game with him in the dark. He was finally planet side and as always wanted to play hide and go seek tag.
Yondu nods. “It’s a good 15 minute walk according to this. Let’s get going…. wake up ya nut.”
Jamie yawned leaning against Tullk. “I’m awake captain…”
Tullk just smirked slightly and tugged him to follow as they started down the trail.
“PETE!” Kraglin called, getting frustrated. “Get back here!”
Peter laughs somewhere up ahead his red coat flashing in the moon light at random intervals before disappearing. Then there was silence before a body jumped on kraglins back with a laugh and holds on like a baby monkey.
Jamie allows himself to be lead stopping every few moments to scan some foliage to see if it would be useful.
Kraglin was taken down to the ground out of complete shock from the attack. He gave a loud, almost animal-like wail and tried to wriggle out of Peter’s grasp.
Tullk looked to Yondu as they walked. “What’s the plan then, Cap’n?” he asked.
Yondu hums watching his boys shaking his head. “No plan just relax and enjoy. Planet side r&r. Just don’t cause trouble… act like a terran……” looks over at peter who was now running from Kraglin. “Just not that terran…. one’s more then enough…” starts walking again to the house.
Tullk frowned slightly. “Really, Cap’n?” he asked. “Thought maybe you’d wanna try and convince Ramon to come back out with us again.”
